PoS mainnet multi-signatures

Purpose and capabilities

The primary role of multi-signature wallets (multisigs) is to facilitate contract upgrades during the early stages of development. As these contracts become more robust, Polygon plans to:

• Transition from multisigs to governance-controlled proxies.
• Implement timelocks for added security.
• Phase out multisigs entirely in the long term.

It’s important to note that the existing multisigs do not have the capability to censor transactions, including bridge transactions.

_{*Plans are underway to transition these functions to governance. We are currently exploring options such as Aave’s governance contracts and Compound’s timelock contracts.}
